Disney files suit against FCC over ABC licensing

Disney and its subsidiary ABC filed a lawsuit with the Federal Communications Commission to prevent an early review of the licenses for eight ABC stations. They argue that the Trump administration is using this process as a form of retaliation against the network for its news coverage and programming. Disney is seeking a temporary injunction to halt the license renewal procedures, which are scheduled after more than fifty years since the last early review. The chairman of the FCC had called for a review before the scheduled date in October 2028. The company claims that the government is violating its First Amendment rights to free speech and accuses the administration of attempting retaliation by threatening to revoke licenses—a move essential for the stations to broadcast over the public airwaves. The lawsuit comes after Trump demanded that the FCC revoke ABC’s licenses following criticism he made of a network program, and the FCC is investigating other programs related to politics.
